The Flower Girl Dress

McCall's
5795

The wedding colors were bright pink and melon.

Additional Sash made out of the lining fabric.

The Flower Girl
Hannah looked beautiful.
This is one my favorite images.

This pattern was chosen by Cindi because it looked exactly like the flower girl dress she loved at David's Bridal. She chose a linen-look washable rayon. The fabric was easy to sew and has a beautiful drape. The pattern was simple - two bodice and two skirt pieces. I had problems with the zipper and the armhole linings. But after removing the zipper one time, the second time was a charm. I decided to line the bodice with a fabric from Hancocks - it has a St. Jude pattern.
As the sewing progressed, I decided to make extra sashes for Hannah to have variety when she wears the dress. She has three sashes - melon, pink, St. Jude pattern. She can wear this dress to other party occasions.
I plan to use the pattern again for a light weight denim jumper - for winter wear with a turtleneck.
Hannah and Melissa loved the dress. Cindi also loved the dress and this made me happy....
